Thank you to everyone who joined us for today’s MOV SHRM meeting!

A special thank you to United Bank for sponsoring and hosting our meeting. United Bank Market President Patrick Bryan kicked us off by sharing more about United and its commitment to the communities it serves.

We then heard from Shelby Merinar of Steptoe & Johnson on effective workplace investigations. Shelby always brings practical insight to the conversation, and the great questions and interaction from the group made for an excellent discussion.

Thank you to Patrick, Shelby, United Bank, and everyone who joined us!

Workplace investigations can be challenging — especially when you’re trying to balance fairness, consistency, documentation, and risk.

Join MOV SHRM as Shelby Merinar with Steptoe & Johnson PLLC shares best practices for conducting effective workplace investigations, including interviewing techniques, documentation, and navigating difficult situations.

A practical topic for HR professionals, managers, and anyone involved in handling workplace concerns.

Thank you to United Bank for sponsoring this month’s meeting!

One of the best parts of MOV SHRM is the opportunity to learn from the incredible talent within our own chapter.

This month, we’re excited to welcome Deb Lorentz, MA, CEBP, as she presents “Cultural Intelligence: A Foundation for Organizational Strength.” Deb will share practical strategies for strengthening leadership, improving collaboration, and creating workplaces where people and organizations can thrive.

Whether you’re in HR, a leader, or simply interested in building stronger teams, we hope you’ll join us for this engaging discussion.

We look forward to seeing you there!

MOV SHRM was pleased to participate in BB2C’s June Community & Business Advisory Council meeting. Our President, Jenny Sampson, and VP, Bill Wilkinson, were honored to serve as panelists.

We came away impressed by the students’ thoughtful perspectives on what they value in a future employer and encouraged by the collaboration between educators, businesses, and community partners. Conversations like these help strengthen the connection between education and the workforce, and we’re grateful to have been part of it.

Thank you to BB2C and the Washington County Career Center for bringing everyone together.
